The Chess Grandmaster and the Lubavitcher Rebbes

Samuel Herman Reshevsky (1911-1992) won the U.S. Chess Championship seven times, and at one point he put together an incredible streak, between 1936 and 1942, of 75 games without a loss in U.S. Championship competition. He scored spectacular victories in international tournaments, defeating seven world champions including Bobby Fischer (Fischer’s only loss in tournament competition). He was also a close acquaintance of the previous and current Lubavitcher Rebbes, reveals The Jewish Press.

Ukraine Yeshiva Moves to Spacious Campus

The school year commenced last Monday at Yeshiva Lubavitch Ukraine, beginning the fourth year since its founding with an added measure of excitement. The graduates of Shiur Gimmel, after three years of attaining remarkable achievements, have continued on to top yeshiva gedolas around the globe, making room for a fresh class of new and eager bochurim from all over Ukraine, Europe and Eretz Yisroel.
